Phase 2 – Scissors Boss Battle in Paper Mario Origami King
For the second phase, the scissors will remove its cover and begin to attack with its blades.
Scissors new Cutting Board ability will allow it to remove several panels from the field of play, as several bosses do, but treasure chests can replace these emptied slots.
The hammer will be your weapon of choice for this phase, as using a jump attack will end in an instant knockout for Mario, but you will want to focus on using your Ice Vellumental and 1,000-Fold Arms attacks.
For your first actions, you will want to start opening the treasure chests to get ON Switches and Vellumental Power icons scattered across the board.
You will need to freeze the scissors, so lining up an ON Switch and an Ice Vellumental attack will be paramount to begin this phase.
After that, the Scissors will not be able to take any actions, so lining up an ON Switch and 1,000-Fold Arms attack will allow you to inflict the most damage to the paralyzed foe.
Completing this twice will result in a victory, but be warned, at the end of each turn the Scissors will attempt a Final Cut attack that will defeat Mario in one shot. So properly timing a block will be crucial to continuing through the second phase.
Spending Coins, as always, can have some added effects on the battle, where hidden tiles can be revealed or health can be restored via the use of the cheering Toads in the audience. Coins can also be used to give yourself more time to solve the puzzle if needed.
